UNRWA fires 70 staff amid Hamas affiliation allegations

UNRWA fired 70 employees after Israel and the group UN Watch alleged Hamas ties; USAID has referred 101 current or former UNRWA staff to the U.S. State Department for suspension or disbarment over roles in the October 7 attacks. UNRWA says the removals are to mitigate safety risks and notes that Israel has provided no evidence, while UN Watch argues the agency is no longer neutral and should be reformed or shut down; UNRWA’s union condemns the decision as unfair without a transparent investigation.

U.N. Condemns Israel 8 Times, Ignoring Rest of the World

The United Nations General Assembly has adopted eight resolutions condemning Israel, while no resolutions were passed against any other country. The resolutions single out Israel for "repressive measures" against Syrian citizens in the Golan Heights and reaffirm the mandates of the U.N. Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) and the U.N.'s "special committee to investigate Israeli practices affecting the human rights of the Palestinian people and other Arabs of the Occupied Territories." Critics argue that these resolutions demonize Israel and ignore human rights abuses in other countries.
